North America ndi kontinenti mwathunthu mwa kumpoto kwa dziko lapansi ndipo pafupifupi mwathunthu mu Western dziko lapansi. Iwo akhoza katengedwa kukhala munthu kumpoto subcontinent a ku America. [1] Izo mphepete kumpoto ndi Arctic Ocean, kum'mawa ndi Atlantic Ocean, kumadzulo ndi kum'mwera ndi Pacific Ocean, ndi kum'mwera ndi South America ndi ku Caribbean Sea.

North America linatenga malo za 24.709.000 sikweya makilomita (9,540,000 linali lalikulu kwambiri), za 16,5% a dziko lapansi a dziko deralo za 4.8% ake onse padziko. North America ndi lachitatu yaikulu Africa ndi dera, kutsatira Asia ndi Africa, [2] ndi wachinayi ndi anthu pambuyo Asia, Africa, ndipo Europe. [3]

Mu 2013, anthu ake anali pafupifupi 565 miliyoni mu 23 palokha limati, kapena 7.5% ya padziko lonse, ngati pafupi zilumba (makamaka Caribbean) aphatikizidwa.

North America kunatha ake oyambirira anthu m'masiku otsiriza glacial nthawi, kudzera akuwoloka Bering dziko mlatho. Otchedwa Paleo-Indian nthawi atengedwa kuti unakhala mpaka 10,000 zapitazo (chiyambi cha chachikale chinkawavuta kapena Meso-Indian nthawi). The Classic siteji chimakwirira roughly 6 kwa zaka 13. The Pre-Columbian nyengo inathera ndi kufika a ku Ulaya pa Age of Unapezekera ndi Early Modern nthawi. Masiku ano chikhalidwe ndi mitundu dongosolo kusonyeza mtundu wa ankachita pakati European atsamunda, anthu ameneŵa, African akapolo ndi ana awo. European makhalidwe ndi mphamvu zambiri mu kumpoto m'madera a kontinenti pamene zamakolo ndi African makhalidwe ali ndi mphamvu kum'mwera. Chifukwa cha mbiri ya colonialism ambiri North America kulankhula m'Chingelezi, m'Chisipanishi kapena French ndi anthu ndi imati ambiri kusonyeza Western miyambo.

Onaninso

Mwachirengedwe ndi North America ambiri m'madera ndi subregions. Zinthu monga chikhalidwe, chuma, ndi malo m'madera. Economic m'madera zinthu popangidwa ndi malonda blocs, monga North America Trade mgwirizano bloc ndi Central America Trade mgwirizano. Zinenero ndi chikhalidwe, dziko Africa akhoza kugawidwa mmagawo Anglo-America ndi Latin America. Anglo-America zikuphatikizapo ambiri kumpoto kwa America, Belize, ndi Caribbean zilumba ndi Chingelezi anthu (kuti kum'mwera dziko mabungwe monga Louisiana ndi Quebec, ndi Francophone mu zikuchokera).

Kum'mwera North America wapangidwa ndi awiri m'madera. Awa Central America ndi ku Caribbean. [19] [20] The kumpoto kwa Africa kupitiriza anazindikira m'madera ena. Mosiyana wamba tanthawuzo la "North America", zomwe amanena yense, mawu akuti "North America" ​​amagwiritsidwanso ntchito ponena Canada, Mexico, ndi United States, ndi Greenland.
